"Save Around" Coupon Book Fundraiser

WSCA is doing an all-school fundraiser for student activities such as field trips, retreats, and on-campus activities. "Save Around" coupon books, order forms, and informational flyers were sent home with K-12 students on November 22, and we hope you will show them to your friends and family over Thanksgiving break. The books sell for $25.00 and are filled with coupons for the greater Harrisburg area. You can even go online and order books for other cities. There are prizes for students who sell certain amounts of books, including a limo ride, pizza party, and opportunities to grab CASH! We hope you will support our school and participate in this great fundraiser.

WSCA Joins CSAGH

The Bible Baptist Church congregation voted on the offer from the Christian School Association of Greater Harrisburg (CSAGH) to acquire West Shore Christian Academy. We are pleased to tell you that 88% of the members present voted in favor of the acquisition, which gives approval for CSAGH to move forward with acquiring WSCA. We encourage you to save the date for Thursday, December 8, 2016 at 7:00pm for a parent meeting with Phil Puleo, Harrisburg Christian School Headmaster, and representatives of the CSAGH Board, who will present the vision for HCS and WSCA going forward. The meeting will be held in the church sanctuary. We are excited for the future of West Shore Christian Academy and Harrisburg Christian School and their impact on Christian Education in Central Pennsylvania.

CATS Prayer Team

The CATS prayer team now has an email address, catsprayerteam@westshorechristian.org. It is our privilege to pray for our school community, so we encourage parents, students, faculty and staff to email your prayer requests to us so that we can lift them before the Throne of Grace. The email address will be posted in both buildings as a reminder and the account will be checked each day for requests. Prayer requests may also be placed in the boxes located in both school offices. Please get other's permission before giving a prayer request for them. May God be pleased and glorified as we pray for each other. We would love for you to join us in prayer on Thursdays at 2:00 in the Lower School.
